NECK COVERAGE please!

VancouverUSAgal · ‎08-19-2010

I simply don't understand all the winter tops that offer no coverage for the back of the neck. If it's cold enough to need long sleeve, then it's cold enough to need to cover the neck. Not all of us have long hair or live in the South. And I don't want to wear turtlenecks every day. There are oher stylish options but QVC seldom offers them. They range from regular collars to shawl collars, cowl necks to something called high vee neck which rises higher on the back of the neck and dips to a vee in front. I have written to Gary Goben and D and Co offers a few shawl collars in their heavy chennile fleece which I grabbed up, but I would love to have regular weight tee shirts eith neck coverage, maybe somr Quacker Factory. Please - I don't want to wear scarves or mock necks every day for 6 months of the year .

@VancouverUSAgal Probably marketing surveys have proven these would not be money-makers for them since shawls, scarves, T-necks, hoodies, M-necks and cowl necks serve the purpose quite well. However, I could be mistaken. I will stay tuned.

@VancouverUSAgal Martha Stewart has a mock neck that is loose around the front of the neck and very comfortanble (I own it in dark brown). I also purchased one by Issac this year.

I myself love turtlenecks. Have them in every color & then some. I mostly wear the cotten ones under a sweat shirt.

I also have a collection of turtleneck sweaters.

I live in the NE & never leave the house w/o a scarf around my neck when the temps dip below 40˚

never wear them. Makes me look like a turtle. Constantly pulling on them

I know I can't stand high necks of any kind on tops - both front and back. While outside it doesn't matter since you would have a coat on and when indoors there should be heat. If the place is that cold a sweater or something would be needed and that little bit of neck showing isn't going to make any difference!

Ditto!

I wear turtlenecks most of the time during the cooler months ... along with scarves when going outside. I absolutely cannot stand any draft on my neck!

Other must haves for me are neck gaiters. They are kntted tubes. Only takes a couple of hours to make. I've made tons of them to wear under collared shirts and other tops.

I can handle a mock neck, but a turtle neck is better on the urtle IMHO. Just no neck here! However, I would love to see more crew necks or at least more neck and chest coverage in the colder months. I live in the South and have most of my life, but do not really understand why designers want to do the open neck styles in the winter. Unless, of course, as I suspect, it's cheaper to make an open neck design than to do a higher crew or whatever. Then it makes sense from a design standpoint.

Anyone remember "dickies!?" My aunt had a collection of them to keep her neck warm. This pic reminds me of one of those.

I was just thinking of this today. I am wearing my Denim & Co chenille wrap neck top today. I love love love this style. I have three of them in cotton from LL Bean.

I agree I get so cold on my neck during fall and winter. I have several Isaac pima tops that I love but the v neck is so low it makes my neck cold. It may seem stupid to some people, but I understand exactly what the orginal poster is talking about.
